Subject: [PATCH v2] anonfd: Make file read-only if fops->write is not set
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2009 09:41:24 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <adak4wk2n97.fsf_-_@roland-alpha.cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091218061049.GI18217@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (Al Viro's message of "Fri, 18 Dec 2009 06:10:49 +0000")
It seems a couple places such as arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c and
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c could use anon_inode_getfile()
instead of a private pseudo-fs + alloc_file(), if only there were a way
to get a read-only file. So provide this by having anon_inode_getfile()
create a read-only file if the fops->write passed in is NULL.

fair enough, I wasn't sure if I really liked changing the meaning of the
flags argument without any indication of that in the function signature,
but definitely the code is nicer.
so would something like this make sense? if so I'll send follow-ups
converting ia64 / perfmon and infiniband / uverbs to anon_inodes.
